Why? There are plenty of US-based, regulated and audited stablecoins out there. You could use them as collateral to short Tether.

Ha. This would be the equivalent of betting against the US dollar by buying treasury bonds. I doubt the solvency of any single exchange or crypto institution if there is a true run on Tether. No one who believes that Tether is a scam would risk making that bit by leveraging another loosely regulated stable coin.

Many other popular asset-backed stables aren't loosely regulated like Tether. They are often regulated by NYSDFS.
